PENNIES FOR NYMBLE FINGERS,
A Fortune Made Out of the ChestnI
Bell


NEW YORK, April 23-The surest road to
success for every woman worker who wants
to earn comfortable living for herself is to
think of something new. To every woman
casting about within herself to see what
she can do and how she can earn
the wherewithal to live and enjoy her.
self, the best advice that can be given is,
offer the world q novelty. IL does not make
any difference whether or not the 'some-
thing newn is of any Importance and but
little difference whether or not IL Is OF any
practical Use. In fact. the world will pay
better for trifiing novelty that is pretty to
look at than il will for one that Is intended
for sober use. For instance, one young
woman in New York has this spring been
earning neat sum of money by painting
baby baskets. SILK null, shirred and rufiied
and painted with forget-me-nots, daisies or
roses and tied with dantily colored ribbons
formed just that combination Of decoration
and use for which the decorative craze has
made market. Her idea of painting in
stead of trimming with lace was Just enough
of a novelty 20 insure quick return for her
trouble. A few years ago lady had very
good success with a new idea in New Years
cards-a dainty little device it was, with q
song and original music on the back She
lacked the time TO put her idea properly on
the market, and 50 had less success than she
might nave mao Bub even hS IL was hle ulu
very well The man who patented the
chestnut bell Is said TO have made out OF it n
small fortune. He had the quiclSness "a
strike popular fancy just in the nick os
time with something odd and new. And hi3
shrewdness rcaped an ample reward.
Women do not usually make much money
out OF the things they invent for practical
use. IL Is when they seize with nimble fin,

soRTERS AND CARRIERS.

No view of the interior of the post Office
can be obtained from the lobby. and it is
necessary to procure a permit from the
postmaster before you are allowed to enter
The New York post Office is the largest in
the United States, and is by far the best
regulated. You stand in the gallery in the
general Office overlooking the clerks dis
tributirg letters, the letter carriers asserting
and setting up their mail preparatory TO
going out on their route, all so intent on
their various duties that they donot even
stop TO look at the stranger as he passes be
tween the long letter cases. Then at the
sound of a bell the letter carriers form in
line, and marching to the rear of the dis
tlibuting cases take the letters that have
been placed thereon by the clerks who are
continually distributing the mail as it is
brought to them from the stamping table
by the messengers. The carriers then re
turn TO their desk and are Obliged to have
the mail Just procured all arranged so that
when the second bell rings, ten minutes
later, they will leave the Office to go on their
routes. Their places at the desk are imme-
diately filled by the relief carriers, who have
to go through the same form and be ready
to leave the Office rs soon as their time is up
But this is Only tho city delivery depart
mont.
On the Broadway side Of the Office is an
army OF clerks distributing hail matter
and the continual thunp Of tho hard stamp
as it IS used 10y different men reminds one OF
a factory.
On the floor below, twenty feet under the
sidewalk, one finds the same systematic way
of doing business. Very little f.rst-class
mail is handled there; it is nearly all second.
third and fourth class matter; and in tins
basement is the repair shop. where ali the
pouches that have become torn are repaired
or condemned. Aud then you will find
regular printing Office where a weekly paper
is printed and distributed among the en-
ployes, giving information on certain points,
notice OF all transfers, discharges, etc.
The registry department is ON the second
floor. 1t has been estimated that this de
pnrtment handles on an average in value
more IN one day than three OF our largest
banks.
